Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 449,693, filed Mar. 11, 1974 now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to surface coating compositions and their protection against attack by microorganisms. More particularly, this invention pertains to fungus-resistant paints and varnishes which contain certain urea derivatives as fungicidally active ingredients.
The deteriorating effect of various fungi on protective and decorative surface coatings, especially exterior paints, has been a continuing problem in numerous environments where the climatic conditions such as humidity and temperature are favorable to the growth of microorganisms.
Mildew fungi have an especially deteriorating effect on organic coatings such as exterior paints based on latex, oil and oil-in-water systems which contain as binders oil, oleoresins and synthetic linear addition polymers or their mixtures. Because such fungal attack causes discoloration, disfigurement and blemish on the surface of the dried paint and ultimately loss of adhesion of the coating to the substrate, mold inhibitors are desirably incorporated into paints, especially those intended for exterior use.
The use of a fungicide as a mold inhibitor is to be distinguished from its use as a can preservative. Additives used only as can preservatives are intended to prevent bacterial deterioration of the liquid paint during storage, in the container, while mold inhibitors are intended to prevent fungal growth on the dried paint film. For this purpose, can preservatives are normally employed at concentrations significantly lower than the concentrations at which mold inhibitors are employed. To be useful as a mold inhibitor, the fungicidal additive desirably meets a number of criteria. The fungicide must be compatible with the paint medium and retain its activity during normal container storage life. Many fungicides lose their fungicidal activity prior to application of the paint as a protective or decorative coating. Loss of activity during storage in the container is of particular concern in the case of latex paint because of its alkalinity and water content. Furthermore, many fungicides decompose in aqueous alkaline systems. In the dried coating, the fungicide must not only retain its activity but also remain in the coating without leaching out or evaporating to the atmosphere. For optimum effectiveness, the fungicide must be uniformly distributed throughout the coating, that is, it must permeate the coating and may not concentrate in any one stratum of the coating. The fungicide should not discolor the coating. This is especially important in the case of light-colored paints. Furthermore, the fungicide should not impart obnoxious odors to the paint.
Therefore, the fact that a particular chemical compound may be known to possess fungicidal activity does not necessarily mean that it will be effective in inhibiting fungal growth on exterior coating surfaces for long periods of time. In fact, most known fungicides are not useful in paint for one or more of the above-mentioned reasons.
Surprisingly, it has been found that certain 3-dihalophenylurea compounds satisfy all of the above criteria and are particularly suitable for combatting fungal degradation and microorganism growth on paint films. In this aspect, their activity is comparable to that of the highly effective mercury type mold inhibitors. However, the compounds of the invention have the added advantage that they possess a lower order of toxicity in comparison with the mercury type compounds and thus, are less detrimental to the environment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Biologically active preparations containing 1-alkyl-3-aryl-ureas as active ingredients are well known in the art. Thus, bactericidal, herbicidal and pesticidal 1-(mono-and dialkyl)-3-phenyl-ureas are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,655,534, 2,704,245 and 2,768,971, 1-(dialkylaminoalkyl)-3-(3,4-dihalophenyl)ureas in U.S. Pat. No. 3,061,640 and 1-methyl-1-methoxy-3-phenylurea in U.S. Pat. No. 3,288,851. Many of these have gained commercial prominence as herbicides.
Paints have been preserved with substituted 1-(2-ethylhexyl)-3-phenylureas as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,932, 1-(mono-and dialkyl)-3-(p-chloroacetylphenyl)ureas in U.S. Pat. No. 3,223,547 and substituted 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylureas in Swiss Patent No. 506,240. As paint preservatives during storage in the container, such bactericides may not necessarily satisfy the criteria for application as fungicides or mold inhibitors in the dried paint film. Furthermore, the aforementioned patents do not describe longterm aging tests by outdoor exposure necessary for a complete appreciation of the effectiveness of a particular compound for inhibiting fungal growth over the reasonable life of the paint film. Such aging tests are particularly meaningful when carried out under actual environmental conditions normally encountered by exterior paint films.
Therefore, the particular prior art compounds may be considered as specific and unsuggestive of other compounds of the class providing the properties necessary for an efficient long-term mold inhibitor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with this invention, it has been discovered that certan 1-alkyl-3-(dihalophenyl)ureas and 1,1-dialkyl-3-(dihalophenyl)ureas possess long-term antifungal properties against growth of mildew fungi on the surface of protective coatings exposed to the elements. These compounds may be represented by the structural formula: ##SPC2##
wherein X1 and X2 respectively represent halogens having an atomic number from 9 to 35 and A is an amino radical selected from the group, consisting of dialkylamino having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in each alkyl group; (3-dibutylaminopropyl)amino when X1 and X2 are in the 2,5 position; (3-piperidinopropyl)amino when X1 and X2 are in the 2,3 or 3,4 position and methylmethoxyamino when at least one of X1 and X2 is bromine.
More specifically, it has been discovered that the compounds of the present invention are effective as long-term mold inhibitors in a wide variety of latex and oil-based paints. They are stable in paint formulations and do not constitute a serious discoloration problem. The compounds of the invention remain in the dried coating without evaporation and are not leached out by water. They can be readily incorporated into and dispersed throughout the paint formulation and are relatively nontoxic to humans. These compounds have been found to be particularly effective in aqueous paints.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide mold inhibitors for dried surface coatings which are stable and provide excellent and prolonged resistance to fungi, bacteria and microorganisms without adversely affecting the color, viscosity and other physical properties of the surface coating compositions.
Another object of this invention is to provide a latex or oil-based paint containing 1-(mono-and dialkyl)-3-(dihalophenyl)urea type mold inhibitors.
A further object of the invention is the process of a method to protect surface coatings against mildew growth by incorporating into the coating formulation certain urea derivatives as mold inhibitors.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the detailed description which follows.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by reacting a primary or secondary amine with any isocyanate by classical methods as set forth in "Beilstein's Handbuch der Organischen Chemie," Vol. 12, pp. 348-350. Other methods are known also, see for example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,655,534.
The urea derivatives of particular interest are 1,1-(di-lower alkyl)-3-(dihalophenyl)ureas, and, preferably, 1,1-dimethyl-3-(3,4-or 3,5-dichlorophenyl)urea. The urea type fungicides of this invention can be used to impart fungal and bacterial resistance to a wide variety of paints, including both organic solvent-thinned and water-thinned coating systems based upon emulsions, latices or dispersions of synthetic film-forming polymers. The surface coating compositions of this invention exhibit long-term resistance to attack by microorganisms irrespective of whether in solution or applied as a dry coating.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the mold inhibitors of the invention are used in an organic solent-thinned system that is based on an oleoresinous binder. Suitable oleoresinous binders include drying or semi-drying oils such as linseed oil, dehydrated castor oil, soya bean oil, oiticica oil, acid esters derived from the drying or semi-drying oils and polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, mannitol, drying or semi-drying oil-modified resins, such as the modified alkyd resins prepared, for example, by the esterification of glycerol, phthalic anhydride and the drying or semi-drying oil fatty acids; the modified phenolic resins prepared, for example, by the reaction of cresols, formaldehyde and the drying or semi-drying oils; the modified esters of rosin or modified rosins prepared, for example, by the esterification of rosin, glycerol or pentaerythritol and the drying or semi-drying oil fatty acids.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the urea type mold inhibitors are used in aqueous dispersions or emulsions containing oleoresinous binder as hereinbefore defined and/or a synthetic linear addition binder. Illustrative of the synthetic linear addition polymers that can be used as resinous binder in aqueous dispersions are acrylic resins, butadiene-styrene copolymers, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polystyrene, vinyl polymers such as polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyrate, polyvinyl chloride and their copolymers with other vinyl monomers, acrylonitrile and acrylic acid esters, polyurethanes, epoxies and other conventional film-forming bases.
The antifungal paints may also contain conventional amounts of pigments, which term as used herein includes extenders, fillers and thickeners, such as titanium dioxide, carbon black, calcium carbonate, silica, clay, diatomaceous earth, bentonite, zinc oxide, magnesium silicate, lithopone, mica, mineral or chemical pigment colors, etc. The antifungal paints may also contain the usual amounts of conventional volatile liquids used as thinners or solvents, such as toluene, xylol, turpentine, mineral spirits, water, etc. and, if desired, small amounts of plasticizers, such as tricresyl phosphate; metallic driers, such as metallic salts of carboxylic acids; also other additives, e.g. wetting agents, emulsifying agents, antifoaming agents, coalescing agents, freeze-thaw stabilizers and the like.
The concentration of the mold inhibitor in the paint is not narrowly critical. An effective concentration may range from 0.1 to 5 weight percent based upon the weight of paint or 0.1 to 10 weight percent based upon the weight of the paint solids in the dried coating, a preferred amount is in the range of 0.5 to 2 weight percent based upon the paint solids. The compounds of this invention are incorporated into the paint formulations by conventional techniques similar to those employed in incorporating paint pigments.
The following examples are illustrative of the long-term effectiveness of the compounds of this invention in a wide variety of surface coating compositions. The ingredient materials used in the examples are readily available commercially and the following tradenames and/or trademarks are helpful to identify them: "DARVAN", "NYTAL", "RHEOTOL" of the R. T. Vanderbilt Company, Inc.; "Balab" of the Witco Chemical Corp.; "Zopaque" of the Glidden Company; "Triton", "Rhoplex" of the Rohm & Haas Company; "Alinco" of ADM Industrials Oils Corp.; "Exkin" of Tenneco Chemicals; "Bentone" of NL Industries; "Aroplaz" of the Ashland Chemical Company; "Everflex" of the W.

 *See Table I
A mold inhibitor of this invention and, for comparison, commercial mercury-type mold inhibitors were added to the basic formulation, together with the pigment to allow for good distribution in the paint. The mold inhibitor, identified by an X, was added in the amount indicated in Table I and was substituted for an equal volume of pigment in the formula when in powder form and for an equal volume of solvent when in liquid form.
One coat of Federal Specification TT-P-25c primer was applied to 3/4 inch × 6 inches pieces of hardwood and allowed to dry. Two brush coats of each test paint was applied to the panel and allowed to dry. The wood pieces were then attached to a rack and exposed outside in Louisiana under severe mildew conditions for one year. After exposure, the wood piece test samples were rated on the following scale:
10 = no mildew growth
8 = slight growth
6 = considerable growth
4 = heavy growth
2 = very heavy growth
0 = extreme growth
The test results are compiled in Table I.

EXAMPLE V
Exterior acrylic latex paint was prepared by a microtechnique according to the formula given below. Each mold inhibitor was evaluated in the paint at a level of 2.0% based on the total paint weight. Liquids were added directly to the finished paint whereas solids were mulled into propylene glycol and incorporated into the finished paint. In some instances, it was necessary to dissolve solid compounds in a suitable solvent because coarseness prevented preparing a concentrated dispersion.

The test paints were allowed to age for one week before preparation of exposure panels. The panels were prepared by applying two brush coats of each test paint to tongue depressor panels (3/4 inch × 6 inches) previously primed with one coat of a primer based on Federal Specification TT-P-25d (no mold inhibitor). One or two days were allowed before applying the second coat of test paint.
The panels were mounted vertically on wood frames and exposed outdoors facing south in Louisiana.
After about 6 months' exposure, the test samples were rated on the scale of Example I. The results are compiled in Table II.

The results in Table I establish superiority of the mold inhibitors of this invention as compared with the commercial controls, and the results of Table II establish adequacy of the mold inhibitors of this invention as compared with the highly effective Vancide inhibitors serving as controls.
When comparing the results of Table I to the results of Table II, it should be recognized that only the results of Example I of Table I are of the inhibiting effect of the compounds of the invention in acrylic latex paint as used in Example V and thus to only the results of Example I are truly comparable to the results of Example V. It should also be recognized that all the results in Table II were from samples facing south. Some variation in the results of Table I and Table II can also ascribed to differing weather conditions and to the different exposure times.
1,1-dimethyl-3-phenylurea was also tested. It was found to have some mold inhibiting effect, but not sufficient to be considered adequate as compared with the controls.
The urea compounds listed in Table III were tested under the same conditions used in Example V and found to have either inadequate mold inhibiting properties, that is, a rating from 0-4, on the scale of Example I and/or were found to have adverse effects in the paint such as gelling, coagulating, or discoloring.
